The Box
So if you are planning on watching the movie the box, please don’t read any further, because I’m going to do 2 things Number 1. I’m going to spoil it for you, and number 2. I’m going to save you time and money.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362478/
This is my take on the movie, and what I remember.
1. The movie starts out with a family that is living a normal life 2 working parents. and trying to make it with their income. They get woken up at 5:45 in the morning with a random box on their porch with a button to push. 5:00 in the afternoon some random stranger comes to visit and explains that the purpose of the box does 2 things if they push the button they get 1 million dollars, and someone in the world, someone they don’t know dies, simple as that. If they don’t push the button no one dies, and they don’t get the money. He gave them 24 hours to make the decision. long story short they push the button, and get the money, and someone dies. You would think thats the end of the movie, but it goes on. They start by telling the police, which in turn makes this random stranger come after them, and threaten them and come after them. Turns out this stranger worked for the military, and died and came back to life and started “testing” people with the boxes. They spend the whole movie trying to stop the stranger from coming after them, and at the end of the movie he is in their house and said your son is deaf and blind, and the only way to fix him is for the father to shoot and kill his wife (the mother) and so ends the show.
I hope this all made sense.
2. now that you know how the movie goes you don’t have to waste your time, and money to see it. You will be much better off without it in your life.
